How to Pre-wash Baby Clothes
- Prepare your clothes. First, sort the items by colors.
- Choose a detergent. Choose a gentle detergent that protects your baby’s soft, sensitive skin, then stick to it.
- Wash and dry. Follow the instructions on the fabric care label, and launder your little one’s clothes as you would normally.

Can you put newborn clothes in dryer?
Vintage or particularly nice baby clothes might benefit from a line dry rather than being tossed in the dryer, as Martha Stewart mentioned, but other than that, it should be safe to dry your baby’s clothes in the dryer. (You might want to use the gentle cycle though.)
